Unbelievable. Loving the AMD disclaimer at the end.
This just the AMD record aint it ? I would have thought, same conditions (sponsers), and switch in Intel and the score would be higher ? No ?

Im sorry was the fact it was 7ghz not enough!

Frankly no. Clocking a Pentium 3 at 9ghz means about as much to me personally. Without a comparitive end result, u could break a 10ghz barrier, if the competition are beating the end result without breaking their own barriers.
I do love all the mist and excitment, and that those enthusiastic about it - are that, but hey.
The claim is for a world record in 3dmark06, I threw down the question that with the same funds coming in with an Intel flavor.

Ah, so other than this, we should be seeing record scores for SuperPI (and etc) coming from the same area.
No, SuperPI is still (mostly) dominated by wolfdales clocking power. But that will still bug out at around -130 (iirc from amsderdam).
Looking over the bot, SF3Ds 06 scores with phenoms sit around 6ghz. I suspect its just a cpu-z 7ghz. Not bench stable.
You should also take into consideration, even if its just a CPU-Z, this is a quad core. Not a single like the old 7-8ghz Cedar mills and the like.

So.. winding back a bit, this 3dmark06 record, under these conditions (remembering 3dmark06 is hyped alot by a cpu) - could/should be trumped by an Intel not under these conditions ?
When it comes down to 06. The I7 will generaly win out in most cooling catagories. But if you look at 06 top 20 the phenom I assume used for these tests is not a hairs length behind. The problem is, if the result I'm looking at is indeed the one taken from these events, they only had 4870X2s, the I7 results that are higher are all done with 4x 4890s.
Some of the results in the video are a few months old now too, and have been broken via more tweaking/improved hardware. So yes, the records have been broken and with intel setups. But someone with an AMD setup could turn around tomorrow with another record.
The point (or at least my point) remains no cold bug on the AMD chips and thats an impressive feat.

I understand. I can see the cpu punching 06 results as it does tend to inflate them. Not the best benchmarker tbh. Even varies cpu scores depending on what gpu is plugged into it, which is odd.
The mftd is really that the Amd cpu doesn't mind the cold, whereas the Intel does, but taking both into account the Intel will still trump the Amd.
Being this is at an event, pressure on, possibly not the 'guys' ideal @home/lab conditions, u reckon 7.5 or more could be possible ?
Even then tho, does this bode well if even when under these extreme conditions, the Intel champion still may come out best ?
Does make u think what a cold-favoring Intel could do.
Then again, this is an i7 bug ? What about a cold liking previous generation like the 775/extreme against the newer Amd setup ?

Ideally they could still cool the intel chips a lot but limit the cooling so it doesnt get to the stage where it freezes up. What scores to i7's get in that benchmark anyway?
